It was reported that during a da vinci-assisted ovarian cystectomy surgical procedure, the customer received a non-recoverable 31030 error.The technical service engineer (tse) viewed the system logs and noted error 331030 and 252 pointing to the video processor (vp) module.At that point, the doctor decided to convert to laparoscopic surgery.The tse had the customer remove the instrument and turn off the system.Then, the tse had the customer perform a hard cycle on the vision side cart (vsc) and reseat all the fiber cables; including the grey fiber to the vp module.The staff rebooted the system and no errors came up.The tse then instructed the staff that they could use the robot now, but the error could possibly return.The customer requested the field service engineer (fse) follow up.There was no reported injury or harm.Isi followed up with the gyn lead and obtained the following additional information: the gyn lead reported that the system was unavailable, the surgeon did not want to wait and decided to convert the procedure to laparoscopic.It was noted the system was inspected prior to use and no issues were noted during setup nor port placement.The procedure was reportedly half way through when the reported issue occurred.It was confirmed that the patient had not returned to the hospital for any post-operative complications.No video or image was available for review.The gyn lead confirmed the procedure was completed with no reported injury or harm to the patient.
